Oceanfront Condo Recommendations Please

How many people will be staying on the beach?

Do you want to go inexpensive or quality?

What view do you like?

Do you like North or South beach?

Do you have any MUST HAVE requirements?

You are right to act now.

I%26#39;m signed up for March next year already.

I%26#39;m guessing the good condos will be gone by Memorial Day.

Tip:

- Repeat visitors tend to get the better condos.

- The rental business prefers to rent from Saturday to Saturday ... especially in peak season.

Party of 5 (3 adults and 2 children)

Do you want to go inexpensive or quality?

Quality

What view do you like?

Oceanfront

Do you like North or South beach?

Not sure...which has the better beach?

Do you have any MUST HAVE requirements?

Pool is the only requirement. We will have a car

Looking on line and since we have never been to Marco - have only heard good things - thought I could get some recommendations from experienced people.

Thanks.

Hi - some info to help you understand the difference between north and south beaches. There%26#39;s one long beach that runs the whole west coast of the Island. Just beautiful.

Tiger Tail Beach is on the north end of the Island. Large public parking lot ($8/day?) that allows access to the board walk to the sand at several different points. Small cafe with burgers, dogs, chicken, etc. Decent restroom facilities. Large playground. Foot shower on the walkway to/from the sand. This beach has a protected lagoon area that is very calm.

This beach offers educational information about local birds and fish. Some walking groups meet here. Beach toy rentals available (windsurfers, paddle boats, etc.) and cabana and chair rentals.

South Beach is at the south end (next to The Apollo Condo) and it has a much smaller public parking lot. The water here is more like normal gulf/ocean water with waves, etc. See dolphins off the shore. No restaurant or playground but the Sunset Grille at The Apollo is very close. Good pub food and great for sunsets. This beach is very close to several condos.

Thanks for your response. So lets see if we can help give you a little direction. You are looking for a condo on the beach with the above feedback.

You need a 3 bedroom for 3 adults(unless you are able to have someone sleep on a couch) upscale with emphasis on a pool.

Assuming you want less than a month rental you should look at: Somerset (3 bedrooms) or Apollo (3 bedroom).

Considerations …

Somerset has lots of 2 bedrooms limited 3 bedrooms (2 pools)

Apollo has lots of 1 bedrooms limited 3 bedrooms (1 pool)

SS Towers are 2 bedrooms (1 pool for 2 towers)

SeaWinds are 2 bedroom (1 pool)

Timeshares 2 bedrooms (Charter Regency of Marco Island, Eagle’s Nest Beach Resort, Charter Club of Marco Island, The Surf Club of Marco Island)
